Tickled Pink Stamps sponsors The Corrosive Challenge and Crafting When We Can

This week at Tickled Pink Stamps we are sponsoring TWO challenges - The Corrosive Challenge where the theme is "The man, the myth, the legend - Tim Holtz" (use at least one TH product on your creation) and Crafting When We Can where they have a fabulous sketch for us to play along with. I .. erm.... forgot the sketch but if you squint, turn your head sideways, close your left eye and stare for about 15mins you would almost think I had used it.... :P

When I think of Tim Holtz it's always a tag that springs to mind. I've used my 'Tims Tags', distress ink and a Tim Holtz sentiment. 

My fabulous image is Lil Victorian Steampunk Lad Luca and he's been coloured up with copic markers.

Tickled Pink Stamps sponsors Paper Sundaes Challenge

Hi everyone!! Happy Easter Sunday. There are chocolate eggs in abundance in my house today and as I'm not a fan of chocolate I'm not impressed, however the kids think it's fantastic, lol. 

Tickled Pink Stamps have the pleasure of sponsoring Paper Sundaes new challenge beginning today, and the theme is to use at least 2 of the following supplies -

• Kraft
• Die Cuts

On my tag I've chosen to use Lil French Lolita Lilith from the Around the World range of images, and I've coloured her to mimic a mime - except I didn't do the white face ;) From the challenge list I've picked kraft for my sentiment and an Eiffel tower die cut.

To embellish I added some pearls and flowers - no project is complete without them ;)

Hi everyone. I am a busy bee this week. I was asked to make some Christening invitations and I said "Of  couuuuuuuurse I will. noooooooo problem.. how many do you need?" .. I almost fainted when they said 30! I was thinking maybe 15-20 at MOST!!! So I came up with a pretty CAS design, but it did involve a lot of cutting and embossing. I will share them here on my blog soon. 

This week Tickled Pink Stamps is sponsoring Crafting For All Seasons Challenges and they have a colour combo to follow this week - Green and Yellow. All you have to do is play along for a chance to win a Tickled Pink Stamps prize.

Tickled Pink Stamps sponsors Divas by Design

Good afternoon!! This week's challenge over on Divas by Design is being sponsored by Tickled Pink Stamps. Some of the Tickled Pink Stamps design team are playing along with their challenge - which is Anything Goes. 

I made a tag using one of the new Gods/Goddesses stamps -Athena Lilith.

My papers are Basic Grey Indie Bloom. The lace was the last piece I had stashed away - time for a spree methinks!

I've used copic markers to colour Athena Lilith, then trimmed her out and mounted her on 3D foam dots. The sentiment is from a set of inspirational quotes I recently got. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Don't forget to check out the Tickled Pink Stamps blog and the Divas by Design blog to see what everyone else has created.

I do hope you're sitting comfortably....

.. because guess who's playing catch up a-gain! One or other of my kiddos has been sick since last Wednesday and although I am getting some crafty time, blogging time is limited! So while hubby is amusing the latest casualty to the virus picking on my family I am blogging quickly and trying not to get sidetracked :)

The papers are from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas 6x6 paper pad. I added some stardust Stickles to the wings - no wings are complete without it :) 

This next image is called A Boy and his Star. Again, I used copic markers and created my background by adding little dots around the image.

I do believe that's it! lol. If you are still with me, thank you for sticking it out.
